Keeping on top of things (as seen on Catch a Kiwi)

Our health depends on many things but maybe two of the most important are the body’s ability to circulate blood and lymphatic fluid.  The importance of blood you likely know however the Lymphatic system is just as important as it is this system which helps defend the body against disease by clearing waste and toxins, by helping maintain fluid balance in the tissues and by absorbing fats from the intestines to transport back to the blood.  Unlike the circulatory system in which blood flows the lymphatic system in which lymph fluid flows doesn’t have a pump and needs us to move in order to have the lymph fluid move, it relies on movement of your muscles to keep it flowing. …..Click here to read more.

I recently read an article about trying to swim in all the ‘good stuff’ of life and yet ending up with our heads just below the surface, drowning in our endless list of good things to do. I’m not saying we shouldn’t be doing anything, that would kind of defeat the purpose of growing ourselves, just that maybe it is time to look at how much good we have, how much good we want, how much good we actually need and how much good we could release.
